1433 West G St, los Angeles, CA 90744
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you handle fence posts that loosen due to soil erosion common in Los Angeles?
We see erosion around fence posts often here, especially after dry spells followed by sudden rain. Our solution includes excavating the loose post, adding a gravel base for drainage, and setting the post in a wider concrete footer that extends below the erosion zone. This prevents shifting and keeps your fence stable for years.
Do you offer both manual and automatic gate installation and repair?
Yes, we handle both manual and automatic gates from start to finish. We install swing and sliding gates with quality hardware, and for automatic gates, we also set up the motor, sensors, and safety features. If your existing gate is jammed or the opener is failing, we can diagnose and repair the mechanism on-site.
Can you restore a weathered fence with new paint or stain that lasts in our Los Angeles sun?
Absolutely. The intense Southern California sun fades and peels finishes quickly. For fence painting or staining, we first clean and lightly sand the surface. Then we apply industrial-grade, UV-resistant stains or paints designed for outdoor wood or metal. We also recommend a clear weatherproofing topcoat to add extra protection against moisture and sun damage.

Meet the Team
For over 15 years, Barrientos Iron Work has served Los Angeles with custom metal and wood fabrication. We specialize in building and repairing fences, gates, and ornamental ironwork, treating each project as a craft. From manual and automatic gate installation to fence painting, staining, and weatherproofing, we use quality materials to ensure lasting results. Many LA homes face specific challenges, like soil erosion around fence posts due to the region's dry summers and occasional heavy rains, or the fading and peeling of fence stains from intense sun exposure. We address these local issues directly: for erosion, we use reinforced post-setting techniques with proper drainage; for deterioration, we recommend and apply durable, UV-resistant stains and sealants tailored to the local climate. Based near the intersection of the 10 and 110 freeways, we regularly work with homeowners in neighborhoods from Echo Park to South Central, and as far as the San Fernando Valley. Our passion is turning your vision into a functional, well-built piece of art for your property, and keeping you satisfied with the result.
